Fly All You Can

Philippine Airlines is having a FLY all you can special that expires at midnight Manila time TONIGHT! Just FYI Midnight Manila time is 11am EST! However if you are in Manila or traveling Asia between Aug 1 and November 30, 2012, you can take advantage of the Fly All You can Special where for as little as $318 + tax and fuel surcharge you can fly to 3 domestic destinations and 11 international destinations! Furthermore you can mix and match destinations, meaning fly into Singapore but home (back to manila) from Bali.

This deal is pretty cheap considering the routes, however the taxes and surcharges can add up quickly. However, you have 8 weeks to fly as much and as often as you want! The only limitation is all tickets must be booked all at once, and ALL the reservations must be made within 1 month from the time the promotional ticket is made. Changes to the reservations are permitted but come with a steep fee.

The routes and surcharges as follows:

IF You were to travel EVERY international route on this promotion you would end up paying a total of $2,269.90 in added fees on top of the $318 economy ticketing fee or the $1318 business class fee. The total milage would be 27,154 miles flown or just barely 9.5 cents per mile in economy or 13 cents per mile in Biz. Although this is not a mile run deal it’s not horrible!

Add on Fares to other destinations are available at a discounted price across Japana, India and Austrailia, althought honestly with the fees and surcharges they are not even close to being a bargin!
